Max walked over to a nearby squat rack to place the absurdly over-loaded bar on one of its higher-up bar rests, leaving Rick no longer dangling, per se, but with his feet now touching the ground.

Max then looked Rick right in the eyes (right in them, dear reader) and said, "I gotta disinfect that bench now, and if you think I'm gonna let a filthy guy who don't even keep clean use my equipment, you're outta your mind. So, either hit the showers," and here, gentlest reader, Max pointed to a set of doors marked "Men's" that was next to a set of doors marked "Women's" and which, to the astute reader, would most likely lead to some sort of changing room/bath room/shower area, which is what they actually did lead to, "Or get the hell out of my weight room. You got clean clothes to change into somewhere?"
